I voted this morning at the Adam Clayton Powell School on Amsterdam. Because I move around so often, I voted by absentee ballot bc my registration had not been updated in time and my name was not on the list. NO PROBLEM. The volunteers were a great help in explaining everything to me and making sure I knew what to do and also recommending that I update (yet again!) my address with the election board bc it may have been overlooked when I did it a few weeks ago. I noticed the volunteers helping a lot of people but without pushing them to vote one way or the other, which is good bc i'd hada say somethin' 'bout that. There was a steady stream of people but it was not overly crowded, so hopefully that was just bc of the hour. I am pleased to report that people of all ages, all colors and all sexes were out in the neighborhood urging people to vote. I did not see any conservative campaigners; just Dems and a few Independents.

In NY, has anyone voted Elliot S. in under the Independents instead of the Dems? Why or why did you not?

I am interested to see how the Tennessee race turns out. I feel that my hometown of Chattanooga will go to the Republicans, which is a great disappointment, but Coker was mayor there. Ford is practically a Republican himself when it comes to issues of sexuality; the western part of the state may go to him.

Now, let's keep the updates rollin'. And who is going to what election party?
